Chapter 393 The kidnapper was actually him!
"Auntie, don't worry about me, Ze'er is not afraid, you go quickly!"
Song Nianze's face was stubborn, and he would rather die than submit.
He was so young, and even in that life-or-death moment, all he could think about was Song Siyao.
Song Siyao felt even more distressed.
Her life was saved by the Marquis of Zhenbei. Song Nianze is the only bloodline of the Marquis of Zhenbei's family. Even if it meant risking her own life, she would save Song Nianze.
Song Nianze's resilience angered the men in black.
The man in black reached out and grabbed his neck, cursing viciously, "The people of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion are all tough guys. You're so tough at such a young age, what will you be like when you grow up? If you don't obey, I'll kill you right now!"
Song Nianze's face turned bright red, his eyes widened, and he was in great pain.
"No!" Song Siyao's voice was cold and sharp. "He is your bargaining chip now. If you dare to hurt him, you will get nothing!"
The man in black's target was Song Siyao, not Song Nianze.
Song Siyao was telling the truth. He let go of her hand, and Song Nianze coughed loudly, in great pain.
"Your Highness, my patience has its limits. If you delay any longer, I can't guarantee your precious nephew will still be alive next time I make a move," the man in black threatened coldly. "I'll count to three, and you must cripple your martial arts!"
"one!"
"Release my nephew, and I'll be your hostage." Song Siyao took a small step forward. "You can have them tie me up, and I'll cripple my own martial arts. But that's not as satisfying as you personally destroying all my martial arts skills."
"Two!" The man in black remained unmoved.
“If you feel that simply tying me up isn’t safe enough, you can have them acupuncture my pressure points.” Song Siyao wanted to lower the guard of the men in black.
The man in black remained silent for a moment, his eyes filled with coldness. "I can release Song Nianze in exchange for you as a hostage, but you must cut off one of your arms first."
“Okay.” Song Siyao replied without hesitation.
"Auntie, no! Ze'er doesn't want Auntie to hurt herself!" Song Nianze, who had always been strong, cried, her little mouth pouting, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of beads.
"Don't cry, Ze'er. Auntie isn't in pain. As long as Ze'er is alright," Song Siyao comforted Song Nianze.
Song Nianze cried even harder.
"Shut up, all of you!" the man in black shouted. "This is not the place for you to put on a show of affection between aunt and niece. Since you refuse to cooperate, I will have to do it myself."
He picked up the knife and made a move to chop off Song Nianze's forearm.
Song Nianze closed his eyes and frowned. He was still a child and was very scared. His small body trembled incessantly, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
"Stop!" Song Siyao shouted. "Give me a knife!"
The man in black sneered, "Song Siyao, you're too cunning. You think you can kill us with your knife? With your martial arts skills, it wouldn't be difficult for you to chop off your own arm with your bare hands, would it?"
“Okay!” Song Si raised her hand, and all eyes were on her.
They had been secretly monitoring Song Siyao and knew that she had already discarded all her weapons.
Now they were staring at Song Siyao, the Marquis of Protectorate who struck fear into the hearts of all under heaven. They were incredibly excited to witness her severing her own arm.
Little did they know, Song Siyao possessed a Soul-Capturing Bracelet, and the silver needles were already in her hand.
Her hand was about to fall on his other arm when she suddenly changed direction, and the silver needle in her hand flew towards the man in black.
"Song Siyao, you're despicable!" the man in black cursed, and at the same time, he swung the knife in his hand and slashed Song Nianze's neck.
A silver needle struck the man in black's hand, causing him to wince in pain and drop his knife.
The other two silver needles struck the man in black's knees, causing him to kneel down.
At the same time, the masked men saw this and began to stab Song Nianze.
Song Siyao moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Song Nianze.
"aunt!"
"Ze'er, don't be afraid, Auntie is here." Song Si shook Song Nianze's side, and she no longer hesitated to act.
With a single needle to the throat, none of the masked men who approached them survived.
However, there were simply too many masked people.
Song Siyao couldn't cut the rope binding Song Nianze directly; the tree trunk was too thin, and if she wasn't careful, she and Song Nianze would fall into an abyss.
Just then, the man in black crawled over.
"Song Siyao, you can all die!" The man in black had a wicked look in his eyes and raised the knife in his hand to start chopping at the tree trunk.
The tree trunk swayed, startling Song Nianze so much that his face turned pale.
The masked man continued to attack Song Siyao.
Just then, the tree trunk broke.
"aunt!"
"Ze'er!"
Song Nianze fell downwards, and Song Siyao caught him with one hand while gripping the cliff face with the other.
"Ha ha……"
The man in black laughed loudly, "Song Siyao, you're dead!"
His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he ordered sharply, "Kill them!"
The masked men charged forward on command, but the next second, they let out a miserable scream.
"what!"
The man in black turned around and saw Shen Pei leading a group of men.
"Take them alive!" Shen Pei waved forward, and the guards behind him immediately rushed over.
The guards and the masked men began to fight.
Cang Yue stepped forward and captured the man in black.
Shen Pei rescued Song Siyao and Song Nianze.
"Yaoyao, Ze'er, are you alright?" Shen Pei asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Song Siyao checked Song Nianze's body. "Ze'er, are you hurt?"
"Auntie, Ze'er is alright." Song Nianze looked obedient as he hugged Shen Pei's leg. "Uncle!"
“Uncle just saw that Ze’er behaved very well. Ze’er is a real man now. This bad guy kidnapped you. This time, you and Uncle will interrogate him together, okay?” Shen Pei squatted down and put his hands on Song Nianze’s shoulders.
He knew that today's events had been a huge blow to Song Nianze, and might leave a lasting shadow on him.
The best way to eliminate Song Nianze's psychological trauma is to let him witness firsthand the bad guys being punished as they deserve.
“Okay.” Song Nianze grasped Shen Pei’s hand, feeling extremely at ease.
Seeing Shen Pei's protection and affection for Song Nianze, Song Siyao felt a warmth in her heart.
Because he loved her, Shen Pei also loved the people she cared about.
"Husband, why are you here?" Song Siyao asked.
"When I returned from my official duties, I heard that Ze'er had an accident. I followed the clues to Dapingwan and met Cang Yue..." Cang Yue briefly explained what had happened.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we have captured ten kidnappers alive, and the rest are all dead. What is the next step?" Cang Yue asked.
Song Siyao stepped forward, removed the mask from the man in black's face, revealing a familiar face.
"Yang Qian? It's you!" Song Siyao exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Qian had deliberately changed his voice, so Song Siyao didn't notice.
Most importantly, he had no prior grudges or conflicts with Song Siyao. The headmaster of Qingyun Academy was a paragon of virtue, refinement, tolerance, and profound morality.
Who could have imagined that he was a beast in human form, committing such a heinous act?
